We are proud to say Shirley has been an anchor on our Wind River team since 2009, offering one-on-one healing touch and compassion to Wind River survivors at each retreat. Shirley has been in nursing for over 30 years doing everything from pre-natal to hospice work, but Healing Touch (similar to Reiki) is her passion. She is a true healer and a tremendous asset to Wind River!

This winter Wind River sponsored 12 survivors for a two day Level 1 Certification class on Healing Touch with Shirley so survivors can be more empowered to help with their own healing. This is the 3rd Level I class Wind River has sponsored with Shirley and participants always come away raving. Here are a few comments"

"Shirley gave me a gift that I did not realize that I needed. Her hands took me to a place that gave me great comfort and healing. I do believe that Shirley changed the direction of my life and for that I cannot articulate my feelings and thanks. Thank you earth angel!""The wonderful Shirley Ballantine continues to touch my life through her beautiful healing touch therapy. Her positive energy touches everyone she meets."

"I had no idea how much I needed to meet her! Shirley helped me to know without a doubt that (1) As God's child, I am loved unconditionally and beyond comprehension - the same way that I love my children and husband, (2) I am able to manifest my own healing using universal energy, (3) It is critically important for my health and well-being to lay down my fear and not pick it back up again, and (4) The message that came to me, loud and clear, is that all I need to do in this life is to BE LOVE. Thank you, Shirley!"
